About Fractured Soul

Llona
will do whatever it takes to protect her new found friends and home, but the
dark plot threatening Lucent Academy, a school that’s supposed to be a safe
place for Auras, may be too powerful for even Llona to defeat. This fast-paced
tale of love, loyalty, and overcoming the darkness will keep you on the edge of
your seat until the last page!

My Take:

Having not read the first book, Fractured Light,I didn't know what to expect.
After reading this book, I bought the first because I enjoyed not only
the story, but this writer’s way with words. The book is well-written and completely
captivating. It reminded me a little of the Vampire Academy books, only I
enjoyed these two novels much more.

In the beginning of Fractured Soul we learn that Llona and May are now attending the Lucent Academy which is a school for girls with special
"Talents." However things quickly go south as the battle to keep the
students safe, specifically the Auras, begins. Llona's internal battle adds fuel to the fire as
she rebels against the rules and sneaks out
of the school at night. She meets up with some not so good guys, but is saved
by a mysterious stranger!

This is an entertaining read and held
my imagination from page one. I’d highly recommend this novel to anyone who
enjoys supernatural stories. I’d also even recommend it to those who don’t,
because this novel just may make a believer out of you.

I give the novel five thumbs up

What others are saying:

“I love these books! A kick-butt heroine and a
hottie love interest, with a refreshingly original concept. Be prepared—once
you start, these are hard to put down.”

—Paula Cotton, book reviewer at ReadingLark.blogspot.com

“Fractured Soul is a brilliant
sequel, exceeding even the remarkable first book in the series. It will haunt
your every waking moment between the times you’re reading it, and it will stay
with you long after you’ve finished. It’s an amazingly well written and
engrossing story that I highly recommend—after you’ve read the first one, of
course.”

Rachel
McClellan was born and raised in Idaho, a place secretly known for its
supernatural creatures. When she's not in her writing lair, she's partying with
her husband and four crazy, yet lovable, children. Rachel's love for
storytelling began as a child when the moon first possessed the night. For when
the lights went out, her imagination painted a whole new world. And what a
scary world it was...

Llona
Reese is used to living on the run. After the Vykens killed her parents, she
knew they would eventually come for her too. She can’t take any chances. But
when she starts to make friends for the first time in her life, she gets
careless and lets her guard down. Big mistake.

As an Aura, Llona can manipulate light and harness its energy. But if she wants
to survive, Llona will have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use her
power as a weapon against the Vyken whose sole desire is to take her light. Now
she’s caught in something even bigger than she can understand, with a power she
can’t wield, and no one she can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious
stranger.
